Icon-goongerThis article is about a Ranger in Power Rangers RPM.

"O-kay. O-kay. This isn't happening. I’m running the Venjix barricade in broad daylight with, uh, with…Willy Wonka at the wheel."
―Probably Ziggy’s most famous line when Dillon was running said obstacle with a lollipop in his mouth.

"Whoa, I'm a Power Ranger!?"
―Ziggy after accidentally morphing into Ranger Operator Series Green for the first time.[src]

Ziggy Grover is Ranger Operator Series Green, otherwise known as Ranger Green, of the Ranger Operators in Power Rangers RPM. His operation number is four.

He is retroactively referred to as RPM Green Ranger or Green RPM Ranger, but this is more in reference to the show rather than a proper label.

History[]

Background[]

Before becoming a Ranger, he was an associate of Fresno Bob, the boss of the Scorpion Cartel, an infamous crime syndicate. Clumsy even back then, he would often fail the missions given to him, but continued to work for the Cartels to get money to help support an orphanage full of ill children that didn't have the resources to get proper treatment. Ziggy's last chance came when he was sent to get a truck and deliver it to the five main Cartels of Corinth. However Ziggy, along with the truck, disappeared from Corinth, making the criminals believe he'd cashed out the shipment for himself. In reality, Ziggy discovered the truck was full of $5 million worth of medical supplies that he could use to support the children in the orphanage. He only ever told one person a man named Benny, what happened out of fear the orphanage would be targeted. He fled Corinth before henchmen from the Cartels could get a hold of him.

Heading back to Corinth[]

When Ziggy found Dillon wandering the wastelands searching for Corinth, he made a failed attempt to hijack the loner's car before deciding to escort him to the city.

Through Dillon's skills, the two were able to make it past the Venjix barricade and into Corinth, but when it was found that Dillon had internal Venjix hardware, they were both thrown into prison. After Dillon was confronted by Colonel Mason Truman, he agreed to become the Black Ranger on the condition that Ziggy would be freed from prison. Ziggy was thus set free alongside Dillon and joined the Rangers as an assistant.

Go for the Green[]

Ziggy later tried to help the Rangers out by scheduling auditions for the Ranger Series Green, which at the time lacked an operator. As Ziggy frantically tried to salvage the auditions after a rough start, he was confronted by Fresno Bob's men, to whom still believed Ziggy owed money. It was then that Tenaya 7 under the guise of a human, saved him. Ziggy, impressed with what she could do, instantly brought her to the auditions. When the Rangers agreed that Tenaya would be perfect to fill the role of Ranger Green, Ziggy was sent to get the Morpher and deliver it to their new recruit. When Ziggy returned, however, he discovered Tenaya was actually one of Venjix's latest soldiers under orders to obtain the morpher.

After a frenzied chase, Tenaya 7 eventually caught up with him. Struggling to keep the morpher away from her, in an act of desperation, Ziggy activated the morpher bonding sequence, and became Ranger Green himself. His unauthorized activation of the morpher initially caused blatant disapproval amongst Doctor K and the other Rangers due to his lack of skill, Dillon however managed to stop their arguments by reminding them that it if Ziggy hadn't taken it then Venjix would have.

As Ranger Green, Ziggy still has a lot of learning to do. He still can't fully control his powers and his fighting style (or rather, lack thereof) leaves much to be desired, but what he lacks in skills, he more than makes up for in heart. When he first became a Ranger, he was reluctant, frequently hiding instead of fighting, and was, as expected, extremely incompetent at handling the Ranger tech, especially at controlling his new teleportation powers. Since then however, Ziggy has shown signs of improvement, able to hold his own against the Grinders despite his still apparent clumsiness, even proving to be fairly useful in combat. He also seems to be unsettled by the Ranger powers. For example, he questions why there is an explosion when he morphs, or why he must scream at the top of his lungs to activate Morphing sequence.

Ziggy and the Doctor[]

Doctor K initially found Ziggy to be quite annoying, and she was openly hostile to him. Even after she begins to open up upon Gem and Gemma's return, she remains frosty to him, often refusing to call him by name as she began to do with the other Rangers. Ziggy, however, seems attracted to Doctor K; in the episode "Dome Dolls", he admitted to her he had a dream where he was on a date with her. He has also expressed a mild attraction towards Tenaya 7, once stating, "When she's not pounding us into the pavement, she's kind of a hottie." Soon enough, it becomes obvious that Doctor K does actually think well of Ziggy; she accidentally once called him by his first name in front of Gemma and even named her password after him, which Summer figured out (though she lied to the other Rangers about it to keep Doctor K's secret safe).

She finally begins to turn around when the both of them are accidentally trapped in a cave that had little air on Doctor K's birthday. Determined to prevent what could be their last moments and Doctor K's last birthday from being completely miserable and regret filled, Ziggy puts on a shadow puppet show for her and to his joy and relief, is finally able to make her smile.

Venjix no more[]

After the war, Ziggy and Doctor K announce they are opening a children's school, where Doctor K will teach biofield physics and Ziggy will teach shadow puppetry and cooking. She also finally refers to Ziggy by his first name, saying that since he is no longer a Ranger, she needs to call him something. She also seems to tolerate his feelings for her as friends, allowing Ziggy to put his arm around her.

Clash of the Red Rangers[]

"But if they're there, then my team will help them."
―Ziggy and other RPM Rangers mentioned by Scott[src]

Ziggy and the other RPM Rangers use the SkyRev Megazord to face off against Professor Cog. The RPM Rangers quickly fire. However, Professor Cog protects himself with a hidden shield, and knocks down the Megazord with his own gun. When he leaves for the Samurai Rangers' dimension, only Scott pursues him. Later on, all of the Samurai Rangers apart from Jayden are transported to the RPM world. Ziggy, along with the other RPM Rangers help the Samurai Rangers return to their own world.

Personality[]

Ziggy is kind of an all talk guy, which tends to get him in trouble. He is often made out to be a clown and isn't easily taken seriously by others. He is generally clumsy, wacky, silly and a bit of a coward, but for what he lacks in skill and physical prowess, he makes up for with heart. He usually wants to stay out of trouble, but won't hesitate to help the other Rangers. He's simple-minded and somewhat stupidly optimistic, which often leaves him on the receiving end of Doctor K's blunt verbal insults. Doctor K's obvious lack of acknowledgment of him in comparison to how she treats the other Rangers tends to frustrate him, especially since he fervently expresses the desire to be her friend and almost compulsively tries to initiate a positive conversation between them.

Abilities[]

Aside from perusing the Ranger arsenal for battle, Ranger Operators can also generate their own personal ability without weaponry.

  • Teleportation: Ziggy, once he's mastered the power, will be able to transport himself to any location, be it long or short distance, for a limited number of times depending on his suit energy levels. He can not completely control it just yet. Currently, when he does this he ends up injuring himself in some fashion or landing in a comical way. There are times where Ziggy has managed to pull off a successful teleport but those have mostly been life or death predicaments with his full attention at what he is fighting or what he is doing to protect someone, instead of partially wandering somewhere else. His special ability only works in Ranger form.

Ranger Key[]

Go-On Green Ranger Key

The Ranger Operator Series Green Ranger Key.

The Ranger Operator Series Green Ranger Key is Ziggy's personal Ranger Key. This key along with the majority of the Core Ranger Keys are seen lining the Command Center's interior walls. This key is mainly used by Jake Holling (Super Megaforce Green) who uses it to fight as Ranger Green.


Notes[]

  • Ziggy is one of the few Rangers to not always dress in his Ranger color while in civilian form.
  • Although Ziggy is part of the core RPM team, he was not credited as such in the opening sequence until the sixth episode, "Ranger Green", which was two episodes after he had become the Green Ranger.
  • He leans onto the fourth wall when the Rangers' morphing sequences are reviewed, stating that "there's always an explosion behind me". He, along with Flynn McAllistair, even question the classic "morphing shout" as he believes it wastes time and allows the enemy openings to attack them.
  • His action figure refers to him as Shark Ranger in reference to his Zord, this is proven wrong because sharks have vertical tails while the Tail Spinner’s tail is horizontal which is actually designed after an orca.
  • Ziggy is the only one of the core five Rangers to not invest heavily in a personal vehicle, partly because he only owns a Gyro Scooter. As a result, he is the only Ranger who does not use it regularly to get him to the battlefield, instead carpooling with Dillon and occasionally Flynn.
  • Ziggy is also the only RPM Ranger not to have any relatives shown on screen.
  • Although his Ranger Operator number is number four, he was the fifth member to join the team.
